I am compiling a list of Pipe Majors of military Pipes & Drums worldwide and would like to know the names of the Pipe Majors of the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the Rhodesia Regiment during WW2. Can anyone help me? Aad
You might try to get your hands on this volume, which includes information on the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the Rhodesia Regiment: Macdonald, J. F. War History of Southern Rhodesia, 1939-1945, volume 1, 2. Salisbury: Southern Rho Govt Printer, 1947, 1950.
I had a quick look in the book, the Black Watch and the King's Enemies, but to no avail. There was a connection between the South Rhodesians and the BW in the form of a Regimental Association.
